[Eenc-board] Fwd: Upcoming EENC Conference

[Elizabeth Burke]

Just FYI: Keep in mind, however, that the Council of Churches is a  
strictly Christian organization, representing different denominations  
not different faiths. Here's the text from the "Who We Are" page on  
its site.
WHO WE ARE

 From efforts on behalf of farmworkers, to encouraging the protection  
of God's earth, to exposing racism within the criminal justice  
system, the North Carolina Council of Churches is at the forefront of  
progressive social issues that go to the heart of whom God would have  
us to be. By drawing together members of 15 Christian denominations  
in this work, the Council also serves our other key focus, Christian  
unity.
